Had his football card in my collection.
This is probably not going to come out right but, honestly it’s a little refreshing to hear someone had a nice long life before passing away instead of what’s now become commonplace......athletes dying in their 20s and 30s.
RIP sir......you played when men were men.
RIP. One of my dad’s favorites, and one of the few players not drafted by Chuck Noll that played on Noll’s Superbowl teams.
Really good LB...
While they were both held up on pedestals in W PA, they were just two guys when they came into our joint.
The two of them did not look overly big {6' 1''-2'" 220 lbs} , and if you didn't know who they were, they just looked like a couple of strong, young buddies out for a sammich and a coupla drinks, but I wouldn't recommend messing with them.
With Ham, Lambert and Russell, they were the best trio of backers...ever, {just a Steeler junky's opinion, but name three others that won back to back Super Bowl's...EVER}.
That was a great team. Great memories. I don’t have a certain team I root for. I loved football back then. Now I leave it on as background noise. Don’t really watch it.
